Spring Review for the MCH Innovations Database
2026-03-20
AMCHP is thrilled to announce the Spring Review for the MCH Innovations Database beginning on Friday, March 20th, 2026! This means that all submissions received on or before March 20th will be included in this Spring 2026 Review cycle. All submissions received after this date (on or after March 21st) will be rolled into our Fall 2026 review cycle (date to be announced). All application materials including submission forms for each practice designation are currently available on AMCHP’s Innovation Hub site on the “Submit a Practice” tab.
This review cycle, the Innovation Hub is especially looking for Perinatal Quality Collaborative (PQCs) working in the perinatal substance use disorder space to submit any effective practices or policies that are part of their work. This specific call is part of an AMCHP partnership with the CDC, with the ultimate goal of uplifting the work of PQCs in the perinatal SUD space and identifying collaboration opportunities. In addition, this topic is an area of growth for the MCH Innovations Database, and AMCHP is committed to expanding the range of the practices and policies showcased in the Innovation Hub. While we do want to develop specific topic areas within the database, we continue to welcome submissions of any kind!
As a reminder, the Innovation Hub has recently added a Tool-specific submission track! This new submission form was created to fill the gap for innovations or initiatives that didn’t quite fit with our standard Practice and Policy categories. The goal of spotlighting tools in the MCH Innovations Database is to share examples of tools or other aids that are being used to eliminate obstacles to and promote community wellness among MCH populations.
